2025 December 16 Tuesday in Leander and Cedar Park

 

Proof of Life

MALL:  I arrived at the mall at 9:03 after stopping at QT for gasoline. I was in costume by 9:28. I was punched in by 9:45. By 10 I should have been on the set, however there was no manager nor photographer. At 10:15 I was preparing to send a message off to Zack the district manager and got a text from him saying that the manager was ill and not going to make it. But saraya was coming and would be there as soon as possible. As soon as possible ended up being 10:26 when we finally got out onto the set. Our first appointment had been waiting since 10:00. So we hardly got them in. It was a two and a half year old girl who after getting the pictures taken did not want to leave Santa. Mom or Grandma I’m not sure which. She ended up playing Ring around Rosie chasing the little girl around the set trying to grab her and put her in the stroller. The girl did not want to go. Later a little girl named Morgan came with her dad for pictures. She was nervous but when Santa had a book for her to read about Spot the dog she helped turn the pages. Dad got some nice photos. Then a four-year-old boy came. He wouldn’t sit with Santa but he stood next to Santa and got his pictures taken with him smiling and a fist bump with Santa. Just before noon I had a grandfather, father, and adult son sit with Santa. Grandpa was from Germany. So when he wished Santa Merry Christmas Santa responded “Und Prost Neujahr.”

Everyone is welcome to come visit with Santa.
